Description
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United
Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT).
REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian
community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts,
supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information
management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by
REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping
facilities and expertise.
IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives,
including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis,
GIS and remote-sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is
based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a
global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of
intervention.
